[comp.unix.amiga] Larry Wall's configure script

rhealey@digibd.com (Rob Healey) (06/06/91)

	Configure has been a pain in the butt for me so I thought I'd
	pass my experiences along.

	1) Add /usr/ccs/bin to the PATH declaration.
	2) Add /usr/ccs/lib to the lib search path.
	3) Change the search for libc.so.1 so that it fails, this doesn't
	   define everything libc.a does.
	4) Add the -p option to the nm that scans libc.a so that the
	   sed script can properly parse nm output.

	   These 4 changes have basically made most of the sources that use
	   Configure set up properly.

Note, if you want dynamic linking libc.so is the equivalent to libc.a
libc.so is an archive that contains the libc.so.1 shared object
